Eh, it'll ultimately be for the better, I think.

Ch'rell needs to be his own man.

So Saki being able to do anything about it probably won't be for a very, very long time.

As for the Foot Clan, I can actually see it collapsing back into obscurity at the series end game. Again, not happening for a very, very long time. But that might all depend on what Ch'rell gets up to.

Why call him the dragon lord just simply dragon will do I think his storyline will be next after city at war. Then Ch'rell then null and maligna.

I love what 4Kids did with that character, but yeah... Ch'rell needs to stand alone going forward.

They have changed the second page of the preview! It was where Jennika was in the van and now it's the fight with Bludgeon!!!

Does anyone save the other page?

[Utrommaniac]

They might just be changing the pages regularly?

This issue is going to be absolutely nuts.

But this preview after that scene with Don and Mike chatting with Bludgeon, man...

[CyberCubed]

So in just 3-4 issues time Karai/Alopex/Bludgeon will do a complete 180 on the Turtles and all their friends, just because they can't take over the Foot Clan?

Ok...

[Utrommaniac]

I'm just confused because Splinter just gave it to her, so what happened?

[CyberCubed]

If this all comes down to Kitsune just brainwashing everyone...lol

[Igglet]

This is the problem with previews that come out months before the issue. IDW might very well have the best story since Shrek hidden somewhere in their sleeves but after finding out about the huge changes characters will go through, people will immediately start jumping to conclusions and making up their minds, so even if the story does turn out good, their opinion could already be set in stone. And that's not to say I'm pointing fingers, I'm speaking from experience. It's kinda like the MK11 Roster Leaks tbh.

And plus, it's a bit hard to sympathize with a character when you know they're going to backstab your ass in a month.

We're all assuming (myself included) that Splinter is gonna hand over the Foot to Karai, he doesn't say that at the end of 91. We don't know what he's gonna say till 92. I thought Karai and her crew were gonna start a fight judging by the last page of 90, but as we saw in 91 that wasn't the intent.

Maybe he will hand over to Karai, but someone, like Jennika talks him out of it thus why she's seriously hurt.

Is this issue only going to be available in paperback tomorrow or is it gonna be available online tomorrow as well?

Comixology has the previous two FCBD issues in the "One-Shots" area here - https://www.comixology.com/Teenage-M...cs-series/6433

This year's issue is not currently there. If you can't get to a retailer today, I'd keep an eye on the above page as I would assume it'll update at some point in the upcoming days. I don't recall for past years if the issues showed up on FCBD itself, or if it was updated later in the week.

Spoiler:

If it fact Don is able to get Jennika to Harold's Lab, then I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Jennika probably isn't going to die but might find herself in a similar situation to Don back in Vengeance, i.e. in a robot body till her organic body can be saved.

Going by said previous releases, that site will probably have it at the beginning of June

So I finally got a copy and I must say it wasn't what I was expecting; not bad or good just different, but in the context of it being a free teaser of sorts for the series it makes sense.

If it was on TV, it would be a clip show for the most part.

The whole foreshadowing of getting Jennika to Harold's lab hits me as something interesting is about to happen.

I hope they don't pull the same trick twice, though. There has to be a twist in there somewhere.

Given this was for free comic book day, is this uploaded anywhere online for free? I missed it.

I guess it will be available on Comixology soon.
